ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ دُعَاءِ الْمَرْءِ لِأَخِيهِ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ

ibnhibban:990Abū Ḥātim

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Umm Salim, and she brought him dates and fat. He said, "Take your fat and put it in its container, and your dates in their bowl, for I am fasting." Then he performed a non-obligatory prayer, and we prayed with him. He invoked blessings for Umm Salim and her household. Umm Salim said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a relative called Khawisah." He asked, "Who is she, Umm Salim?" She replied, "Your servant Anas." He then prayed for me for the good of this world and the hereafter, saying, "O Allah, provide him with wealth, children, and bless him." So I am among the people with the most children.

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَأَتَتْهُ بِتَمْرٍ وَسَمْنٍ فَقَالَ «أَعِيدُوا سَمْنَكُمْ فِي سِقَائِهِ وَتَمْرَكُمْ فِي وِعَائِهِ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ» فَصَلَّى صَلَاةً غَيْرَ مَكْتُوبَةٍ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ فَدَعَا لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي خُوَيْصَةً قَالَ «مَا هِيَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ» قَالَتْ خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ فَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا وَبَارِكْ لَهُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِ النَّاسِ وَلَدًا

The Prophet ﷺ paid a visit to Um-Sulaim and she placed before him dates and ghee. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Replace the ghee and dates in their respective containers for I am fasting." Then he stood somewhere in her house and offered an optional prayer and then he invoked good on Um-Sulaim and her family. Then Um-Sulaim said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have a special request (today)." He said, "What is it?" She replied, "(Please invoke for) your servant Anas." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not leave anything good in the world or the Hereafter which he did not invoke (Allah to bestow) on me and said, "O Allah! Give him (i.e. Anas) property and children and bless him." Thus I am one of the richest among the Ansar and my daughter Umaina told me that when Al-Hajjaj came to Basra, more than 120 of my offspring had been buried.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to Umm Sulaym's house and she presented him with some butter and dates. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Put your butter in your dish and your dates in your container, for I am fasting." He then stood and prayed in a corner of the house, and we prayed behind him. Afterwards, he prayed for Umm Sulaym and her family. Umm Sulaym said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a request." He asked, "What is it?" She replied, "Anas." He said, "He has never left a day without supplicating for goodness in this world and the hereafter for Umm Sulaym. He would say, 'O Allah, provide him with wealth and children, and bless them for him.'" Anas said, "My daughter told me that he was buried after living for 120 and a half years. I am among the Ansar who have the most wealth."

ahmad:12053Ibn Abū ʿAdī > Ḥumayd > Anas

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the house of Umm Salamah, and she presented him with dates and clarified butter. He was fasting, so he said, "Put your dates in a container and your clarified butter in another, then he stood up facing the direction of the Kaaba and performed two units of prayer, and we prayed behind him. Then he made a supplication for Umm Salamah and her household with goodness. Umm Salamah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a Khawaisah (servant)." He asked, "What is her matter?" She replied, "Your servant Anas." He said, "He will never abandon any goodness, both in this worldly life and the Hereafter, without praying for me regarding it." Then he said, "O Allah, grant him wealth and offspring, and bless him in them." Anas said, "There was no Ansari who had more wealth than me, and he mentioned that he did not possess any gold or silver besides his own ring." He also mentioned that his eldest daughter, Umaynah, informed him that he was buried from his navel to his forehead and was ninety-nine years old.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered the house of Umm Salim and she brought him dates and clarified butter. He said, "Take your clarified butter and put it in its container, and put your dates in their place, for I am fasting." Then he went to a side of the house and performed a non-obligatory prayer and made supplication for Umm Salim and her family. Umm Salim said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a cousin." He asked, "Who is it?" She replied, "It is your servant Anas, who has not left anything good for the hereafter or the worldly life except that you supplicate for it." Then he said, "O Allah, grant him wealth, children, and bless him." Anas said, "I have never seen anyone among the Ansar (helpers) who has more wealth than me." He also mentioned that his daughter Umaynah informed him that he was buried near the Mashhad of Al-Hajjaj in Basra.
